Next NDC Gov't Will Make Ghanaians Rich - Edudzi Tamakloe Assures

Head of Legal Affairs for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Godwin Edudzi Tamakloe says his party will focus on enriching Ghanaians when voted into power.

According to him, the hardship Ghanaians are going through under the Akufo-Addo-led government is unbearable - hence, the reason the NDC will ensure Ghanaians are satisfied when John Dramani Mahama is voted to head Ghana in the 2024 presidential polls. 

"We want to focus on getting the pockets of Ghanaians loaded. Once people have money, they can do many other things with the support of the state; critical is the 24-hour policy proposal,” he told Joy News in an interview and was monitored by Peacefmonline.com.

Lawyer Godwin Edudzi Tamakloe also assured the NDC's next government will be for the people - emphasising the introduction of Mahama's 24-hour economy policy implementation. 

"As you are aware, we already have the People’s Manifesto, the 2020 manifesto of the NDC. If you recall, some of the policy initiatives in the 2020 manifesto in the 2020 elections included the 24-hour economy policy proposal. What we are doing is that from 2020 till date, there have been a lot of interventions. 

"And so, we want to have a situation where we can engage researchers, persons from academia, and experts to help shape these policy programs and proposals we put out before Ghanaians in the year 2020, to firm them up for the 2024 elections, so that we will come out with a workable document Ghanaians generally will accept, and that is what exactly we are doing.”

"We recognize that the problems facing Ghanaians are not funfair; they are serious matters. Basically, after this, what advice they will be given is not for public consumption. It’s purely for the use of the party internally. To shape how we proceed going forward,” he noted.
